Hi all!
I have a small rig with 2700K (H80 with thick Panaflo fan, P8Z77-I MoBo and 2133 G.Skill Ares RAM). I realized that I'm not a gamer, so I sold out my GTX570 and Radeon HD 6970. I'm using my PC mostly for programming with some heavy CPU tasks like brute-force optimizations and as an HTPC - to watch movies.
Currently My CPU is at about 5.3 GHz with HT enabled. With no HT the clocks are even higher.
I do overclock IGP as well. I've got pretty high 3D Mark Vantage scores for that kind of hardware - P3856

And this looks pretty close to that officials say about 3770K with no overclock.
I'm using a large 27" monitor with Quad HD resolution (2560x1440), my MoBo supports it via DisplayPort.
I'm thimking to move to 3770K. The only reason is just to have a slightly more powerful IGP to ocasionally play oldschool games like Unreal Tournament 3 and such at full resolution. Current overclocked IGP not really handles UT3 at 2560x1440...
Can someone provide the REAL results of max overclocked 3770K at 3DMark Vantage?
Worth it? Money is not an issue.
